'non-event-centered' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not,' combined with 'event,' from Latin 'eventus,' meaning 'outcome,' and 'centered,' from Latin 'centrum,' meaning 'center.'

'non-event-centered' evolved from the combination of 'non-' and 'event-centered,' which was used to describe activities or discussions not focused on a specific event.

Initially, it meant 'not focused on a specific event,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
